The need

ARE Telecom was hired on by The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to install our AFS 600 6 m Tilt-Up Pole to support a Homeland Security radar that monitors boat traffic. The pole needed to be rated for extreme winds, be able to be lowered for maintenance, and hurricanes.

Overview

ARE’s AFS 600 system allowed The FAA to have a permanent or temporary foundation and 6 m self-raising pole that is assembled by 2 people. This system will support The FAA’s technical requirements and maintain a tight deflection to guarantee accurate readings. ARE’s AFS 600 uses (2) hydraulic rams and a small 12v pump which is powered by a conventional vehicle battery, which raises or lowers the pole in minutes.
